Learn about interest subsidy on home loan or Home Loan Subsidy in this video. To give a boost to the mission of 'Housing for All by 2022' and also address the urban poor's housing requirement, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is being reworked. Of the four verticals of the scheme, 'Promotion of affordable housing for weaker section through credit linked subsidy' is the one that would appeal to the urbanites the most. There are two important changes being made to the scheme.
First, while the existing guidelines are aimed at the economically weaker section (EWS) and the lower income group (LIG) category, earning Rs 3 lakh and Rs 6 lakh per annum respectively, two new subsidy slabs (yet to be notified) will bring in people earning up to Rs 12 lakh and Rs 18 lakh per annum into the fold.
Second, as per Budget 2017, the 30 square metre (carpet area) limit will apply only in case of municipal limits of 4 metropolitan cities, while for the rest of the country, including in the peripheral areas of metros, the limit of 60 sq. m. will apply.

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

(23 Jan 2018) LEADIN:
The Jordanian government has announced new economic measures to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in 2018.
But there are fears that scrapping subsidies and raising taxes will push more people into poverty.
STORYLINE:
There's plenty on sale in Amman's downtown market.
But shoppers are braced for price rises.
The Jordanian government has announced new economic measures which lift subsidies and cancel sales tax exemptions on a range of goods.
Today (17 January), the tax on carbonated drinks is rising by 10 to 20 percent, Octane 95 and 98 gasoline by 30 percent and packets of cigarettes will cost an extra 0.20 Jordanian dinars (0.3 US dollars).
From 1 February, the bread subsidy will also be lifted.
Furthermore, the government is imposing charges of 500 to 1,500 dinars (700 to 2,100 US dollars) on imported cars, depending on their weight, while vehicle ownership transfer fess will be reduced by 30 dinars to 200.
According to the cabinet, the total revenue expected from these measures will amount to 540 million Jordanian dinars (760 million US dollars).
But analysts warn of serious consequences for citizens.
"They will face more pressure to decrease expenses, and to reduce trade and economic activities," says economic analyst Hossam Ayyash.
He says there could be an "increase of poverty" which will lead to problems with "civil and social peace".
The Jordanian government has set aside funds to help the poorest cope with price rises.
To qualify for the subsidy, a household's annual income must be less than 12,000 dinars (16,900 US dollars). For individuals, the limit is 6,000 dinars.
So far, 230,000 families have signed up for the assistance.
Beneficiaries of this National Aid Fund, will receive a cash subsidy of 33 dinars, while children of Jordanian women married to non-Jordanians and Gazans living in the kingdom will receive a subsidy of 27 dinars, if eligible. The government said that 6.2 million Jordanians will benefit from the cash support.
But Amman resident Hiba Dobaoud says everyone is feeling the financial squeeze from the economic measures.
"All the people are suffering, all the people are complaining, no one is happy, the effect: everyone is angry," she says.
"Before we used to say that no one dies from starvation, but unfortunately now people will die from starvation."
The sale tax on essential commodities will remain unchanged. Staples goods such as rice, sugar, flour, bulgur, cooking oil, meat, chicken, fish, fresh and powdered milk, eggs and tea will not see any hike in taxation.
Goods such as school supplies, orthopaedic devices, sensory assistance equipment, pesticides, fertilisers and veterinary medicines will not see a rise in taxation either.
The government also decided to include all senior citizens above 60-years-old in the health care insurance system and to raise the minimum wage from 190 to 200 dinars.
These measures were taken as part of a larger governmental fiscal and economic reform to secure financial stability and stimulate the country's economic growth.

This video is a part of Conservation Strategy Fund's collection of environmental economic lessons and was made possible thanks to the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Marcia BradyTuckerFoundation. This series is for individuals who want to learn - or review - the basic economics of conservation. This video looks at subsidies and taxes in the fishery industry and how it effects the fisherman's incentives. The Fisheries Economics & Policy series will cover management strategies to preserve fishing in the long term and will include concepts such as open access, common pool resources, tragedy of the commons, maximum economic yield, taxes and subsidies, reducing effort, territorial use rights, transferable quotas and externalities.

Mortgage loan

A mortgage loan, also referred to as a mortgage, is used by purchasers of real property to raise funds to buy real estate; or by existing property owners to raise funds for any purpose while putting a lien on the property being mortgaged. The loan is "secured" on the borrower's property. This means that a legal mechanism is put in place which allows the lender to take possession and sell the secured property ("foreclosure" or "repossession") to pay off the loan in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan or otherwise fails to abide by its terms. The word mortgage is derived from a "Law French" term used by English lawyers in the Middle Ages meaning "death pledge", and refers to the pledge ending (dying) when either the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure.
Mortgage can also be described as "a borrower giving consideration in the form of a collateral for a benefit (loan).

Mortgage borrowers can be individuals mortgaging their home or they can be businesses mortgaging commercial property (for example, their own business premises, residential property let to tenants or an investment portfolio). The lender will typically be a financial institution, such as a bank, credit union or building society, depending on the country concerned, and the loan arrangements can be made either directly or indirectly through intermediaries. Features of mortgage loans such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan, and other characteristics can vary considerably. The lender's rights over the secured property take priority over the borrower's other creditors which means that if the borrower becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the other creditors will only be repaid the debts owed to them from a sale of the secured property if the mortgage lender is repaid in full first.

Union Pacific Railroad

The Union Pacific Railroad(reporting markUP) is a Class I line haul freight railroad that operates nearly 8,500 locomotives over 32,000 route-miles in 23 states west of Chicago, Illinois and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Union Pacific Railroad network is the largest in the United States and is serviced by more than 47,000 employees.

Union Pacific Corporation's main competitor is the BNSF Railway, the nation's second largest freight railroad, which also primarily services the Continental U.S. west of the Mississippi River. Together, the two railroads have a duopoly on all transcontinental freight rail lines in the U.S.

Public housing

Public housing may be a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local. Social housing is an umbrella term referring to rental housing which may be owned and managed by the state, by non-profit organizations, or by a combination of the two, usually with the aim of providing affordable housing. Social housing can also be seen as a potential remedy to housing inequality. Some social housing organizations construct for purchase, particularly in Spain and to an extent elsewhere.

Although the common goal of public housing is to provide affordable housing, the details, terminology, definitions of poverty and other criteria for allocation vary within different contexts.

Learn about interest subsidy on home loan or Home Loan Subsidy in this video. To give a boost to the mission of 'Housing for All by 2022' and also address the urban poor's housing requirement, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is being reworked. Of the four verticals of the scheme, 'Promotion of affordable housing for weaker section through credit linked subsidy' is the one that would appeal to the urbanites the most. There are two important changes being made to the scheme.
First, while the existing guidelines are aimed at the economically weaker section (EWS) and the lower income group (LIG) category, earning Rs 3 lakh and Rs 6 lakh per annum respectively, two new subsidy slabs (yet to be notified) will bring in people earning up to Rs 12 lakh and Rs 18 lakh per annum into the fold.
Second, as per Budget 2017, the 30 square metre (carpet area) limit will apply only in case of municipal limits of 4 metropolitan cities, while for the rest of the country, including in the peripheral areas of metros, the limit of 60 sq. m. will apply.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

Subsidy withdrawals and tax hikes push up prices

(23 Jan 2018) LEADIN:
The Jordanian government has announced new economic measures to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in 2018.
But there are fears that scrapping subsidies and raising taxes will push more people into poverty.
STORYLINE:
There's plenty on sale in Amman's downtown market.
But shoppers are braced for price rises.
The Jordanian government has announced new economic measures which lift subsidies and cancel sales tax exemptions on a range of goods.
Today (17 January), the tax on carbonated drinks is rising by 10 to 20 percent, Octane 95 and 98 gasoline by 30 percent and packets of cigarettes will cost an extra 0.20 Jordanian dinars (0.3 US dollars).
From 1 February, the bread subsidy will also be lifted.
Furthermore, the government is imposing charges of 500 to 1,500 dinars (700 to 2,100 US dollars) on imported cars, depending on their weight, while vehicle ownership transfer fess will be reduced by 30 dinars to 200.
According to the cabinet, the total revenue expected from these measures will amount to 540 million Jordanian dinars (760 million US dollars).
But analysts warn of serious consequences for citizens.
"They will face more pressure to decrease expenses, and to reduce trade and economic activities," says economic analyst Hossam Ayyash.
He says there could be an "increase of poverty" which will lead to problems with "civil and social peace".
The Jordanian government has set aside funds to help the poorest cope with price rises.
To qualify for the subsidy, a household's annual income must be less than 12,000 dinars (16,900 US dollars). For individuals, the limit is 6,000 dinars.
So far, 230,000 families have signed up for the assistance.
Beneficiaries of this National Aid Fund, will receive a cash subsidy of 33 dinars, while children of Jordanian women married to non-Jordanians and Gazans living in the kingdom will receive a subsidy of 27 dinars, if eligible. The government said that 6.2 million Jordanians will benefit from the cash support.
But Amman resident Hiba Dobaoud says everyone is feeling the financial squeeze from the economic measures.
"All the people are suffering, all the people are complaining, no one is happy, the effect: everyone is angry," she says.
"Before we used to say that no one dies from starvation, but unfortunately now people will die from starvation."
The sale tax on essential commodities will remain unchanged. Staples goods such as rice, sugar, flour, bulgur, cooking oil, meat, chicken, fish, fresh and powdered milk, eggs and tea will not see any hike in taxation.
Goods such as school supplies, orthopaedic devices, sensory assistance equipment, pesticides, fertilisers and veterinary medicines will not see a rise in taxation either.
The government also decided to include all senior citizens above 60-years-old in the health care insurance system and to raise the minimum wage from 190 to 200 dinars.
These measures were taken as part of a larger governmental fiscal and economic reform to secure financial stability and stimulate the country's economic growth.

Trump Stops Illegal ObamaCare Subsidies: Here’s Why...

The GOP establishment wouldn’t stop ObamaCare but Trump did it today by stopping “net asset sweep” (i.e. theft) of funds from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Jerome Corsi, laid out the case for doing it in early 2017 and InfoWars, virtually alone, pushed the plan of action that has now been taken by the Trump administration. Dr. Corsi explained it in full with David Knight on June 15, 2017.

How the U.S. Government Wastes Money: Spending, Debt, Budgets, and Investment (1997)

David Maris wrote, "one of the key problems with government funding of certain studies [is that] the investment is with taxpayer dollars and the benefit might be only to a few." About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0963789937/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0963789937&linkCode=as2&tag=tra0c7-20&linkId=dd02f2f8ea24dee7b22d2aa422a39e9a
Describing his opposition of some government funding for scientific research on studies he views as frivolous, he writes, "Scientists often rally quickly to attack anyone who thinks of reducing public funding of science -- they do this under the idea that if you don't want to fund finding answers, you must be a luddite -- you must be against science and progress. I am not. I simply think that there are so many very good ...

Monday, November 18, 2013The Center on GlobalEnergy Policy hosted an event in this Fall's Global Leaders in Energy Lecture Series.
This event featured a lecture and discussion with Benedict Clements, Division Chief, Expenditure Policy Division, Fiscal Affairs Department, International Monetary Fund, on energy subsidies in advanced and developing economies. Mr. Clements discussed the consequences of energy subsidies, which range from aggravating fiscal imbalances and global warming to crowding out private investment in the energy sector. He also examined what types of policies and approaches can be undertaken t...

Live Webinar: Determinants of Subsidy Stability and Child Care Continuity

Child care assistance is a critical support for low-income families. Approximately 1.5 million American children receive child care subsidies through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) each month. With support to pay for child care, parents are better able to participate in the labor market and secure developmentally appropriate, high quality child care programs for their children.
Yet recent studies have found that many enrolled families receive a subsidy for only brief periods, or cycle off and then back on the subsidy program, frequently returning with a new child care provider. Instability in subsidy use may contribute to discontinuity in children’s care arrangements. Given the importance of child care continuity both for promoting children’s development and supporting pare...

Cultural policy in the UK is devolved to the home nations -- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but a central plank to all has been the provision of free admission to National Museums. In England, free admission to charging National Museums was reintroduced on 1st December2001, following up an election pledge in the 1997Labour PartyGeneral Election manifesto. Although a policy introduced by Labour, all the major political parties currently support this policy, which celebrated its tenth anniversary last year.
Using the Natural History Museum (NHM) as a case in point, I illustrate how National Museums in England operate a mixed model of funding which balances commercial entrepreneurism with fund-raising from philanthropic sources, underpinned by a consistent, reliable level...

The GOP establishment wouldn’t stop ObamaCare but Trump did it today by stopping “net asset sweep” (i.e. theft) of funds from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Jerome Corsi, laid out the case for doing it in early 2017 and InfoWars, virtually alone, pushed the plan of action that has now been taken by the Trump administration. Dr. Corsi explained it in full with David Knight on June 15, 2017.

Homelessness and Housing Supply and Subsidies

Leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors gathered at USC on April 27 for a summit to launch a sustained, collaborative effort to end homelessness in Los Angeles and serve as a model for other communities. From housing and supportive services to business and technology solutions, panelists outline framework for tackling one of society’s most intractable problems.
Moderater:
Jack H. Knott
Dean, USC Price
C. Erwin and Ione L. PiperChair and Professor
Panelists:
Jan PerryGeneral Manager, Economic & Workforce DevelopmentDepartmentCity of Los AngelesMichael Alvidrez
CEO, Skid RowHousing TrustNicoleEsparzaAssociate Professor, USC Price
Director, Graduate Programs in NonprofitLeadership and ManagementMargaux Helvey
Vice President of Fund Development & Community Engagement
LA Family Housing
The endeavor builds upon long-standing work by faculty, students and staff across the university, and in particular the USC School of Social Work.
In Los Angeles County, some 44,000 individuals are homeless on any given night — up from 39,000 in 2013. Although New York City has a larger number and a higher per-capita rate, Los Angeles has one of the nation’s densest homeless populations. In just one year, the county spends $965 million on healthcare, law enforcement and social services for homeless single adults. The county also has a high rate of people experiencing chronic homelessness.
Despite higher concentrations in the urban core, the homeless population is spread out across the region, from the Antelope Valley to the South Bay to the southeastern edges of the county. And while in most U.S. communities the homeless are sheltered, in Los Angeles, some 70 percent are on the street, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). The estimated cost of building enough housing units to support the current homeless population in Los Angeles is $1.8 billion over 10 years, and that does not include necessary social services.
The causes of homelessness are numerous and often interrelated, requiring multiple perspectives and tactics, several speakers noted. Homeless populations include veterans, the mentally ill, elderly, foster youth, former prisoners, young families, victims of domestic abuse, the chronically ill, and the unemployed or underemployed.

How the U.S. Government Wastes Money: Spending, Debt, Budgets, and Investment (1997)

David Maris wrote, "one of the key problems with government funding of certain studies [is that] the investment is with taxpayer dollars and the benefit might be only to a few." About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0963789937/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0963789937&linkCode=as2&tag=tra0c7-20&linkId=dd02f2f8ea24dee7b22d2aa422a39e9a
Describing his opposition of some government funding for scientific research on studies he views as frivolous, he writes, "Scientists often rally quickly to attack anyone who thinks of reducing public funding of science -- they do this under the idea that if you don't want to fund finding answers, you must be a luddite -- you must be against science and progress. I am not. I simply think that there are so many very good ideas to study, but limited money and other higher priorities."
David Boaz of the libertarian Cato Institute opposes governmental decision-making because the obligation to pay taxes is distinct from the decision as to their expenditure on specific budget items. He writes, "We're not asked 'will you pay $100 right now for farm subsidies and $4000 for Medicaid and $1600 for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and $130 for a new presidential helicopter and ... ?' If we did get such a question, we might well decide that lots of government programs were not well worth the money to the people who would be paying the money."
Proposed solutions
Conservatives and libertarians have proposed various reforms to the process of government spending: One of these is simply to limit the amount of money that the government spends.[3] A second reform would be to increase government oversight.[3] A third proposal is to implement tax choice. This latter approach was satirized in a 1990 column by New York Times writer Russell Baker: "I have no doubt that the public, with its strongly satirical view of Federal spending, would send in so many tax returns marked Use for $600 toilet seats only that the Pentagon would soon have to distribute overpriced toilet seats free to the homeless, as the Agriculture Department once had to give away cheese to make storage space available for more excess cheese being bought with the taxpayer's famous dollar."
Examples:
Massages for rabbits
Meditation for hot flashes
Tax breaks for NFL teams
Some purported examples of government waste are merely urban legends, such as the "million dollar" Space Pen purchased by NASA for $6 each.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_waste
The earliest examples of pork barrel politics in the United States was the Bonus Bill of 1817, which was introduced by DemocratJohn C. Calhoun to construct highways linking the Eastern and Southern United States to its Western frontier using the earnings bonus from the SecondBank of the United States. Calhoun argued for it using general welfare and post roads clauses of the United States Constitution. Although he approved of the economic development goal, President James Madison vetoed the bill as unconstitutional. A more recent example: to pass the recent "Fiscal Cliff" 12/12 a tax write off went to Hollywood -- a $20 million break anytime a TV show or movie is shot in an economically depressed area of the United States.
One of the most famous alleged pork-barrel projects was the BigDig in Boston, Massachusetts. The Big Dig was a project to relocate an existing 3.5-mile (5.6 km) section of the interstate highway system underground. It ended up costing US$14.6 billion, or over US$4 billion per mile.[9] Tip O'Neill (D-Mass), after whom one of the Big Dig tunnels was named, pushed to have the Big Dig funded by the federal government while he was the Speaker of the United StatesHouse of Representatives. [10]
During the 2008U.S. presidential campaign, the Gravina Island Bridge (also known as the "Bridge to Nowhere") in Alaska was cited as an example of pork barrel spending. The bridge, pushed for by RepublicanSenator Ted Stevens, was projected to cost $398 million and would connect the island's 50 residents and the Ketchikan International Airport to Revillagigedo Island and Ketchikan.[11]
Pork-barrel projects, which differ from earmarks, are added to the federal budget by members of the appropriation committees of United States Congress. This allows delivery of federal funds to the local district or state of the appropriation committee member, often accommodating major campaign contributors. To a certain extent, a member of Congress is judged by their ability to deliver funds to their constituents. The Chairman and the ranking member of the U.S. SenateCommittee on Appropriations are in a position to deliver significant benefits to their states.

The banks agreeing to receive preferred stock investments from the Treasury include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, J.P. MorganChase & Co., Bank of America Corp. (which had just agreed to purchase Merrill Lynch), Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of New York Mellon and State Street Corp.The Bank of New York Mellon is to serve as master custodian overseeing the fund.
The U.S. Treasury maintains an official list of TARP recipients and proceeds to the taxpayer on a TARP website.
Of these banks, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, American Express Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., U.S. Bancorp, Capital One Financial Corp., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., State Street Corp., BB&T Corp, Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America repaid TARP money. Most banks repaid TARP funds using capital raised from the issuance of equity securities and debt not guaranteed by the federal government. PNC Financial Services, one of the few profitable banks without TARP money, planned on paying their share back by January 2011, by building up its cash reserves instead of issuing equity securities.[61] However, PNC reversed course on February 2, 2010, by issuing $3 billion in shares and $1.5-2 billion in senior notes in order to pay its TARP funds back. PNC also raised funds by selling its GlobalInvestment Services division to crosstown rival The Bank of New York Mellon.[54]
In a January 2012, review, it was reported that AIG still owed around $50 billion, GM about $25 billion and Ally about $12 billion. Break even on the first two companies would be at $28.73 a share versus then-current share price of $25.31 and $53.98 versus then-current share price of $24.92, respectively. Ally was not publicly traded. The 371 banks that still owed money include Regions ($3.5 billion), Zions Bancorporation ($1.4 billion), Synovus Financial Corp. ($967.9 million), Popular, Inc. ($935 million), First BanCorp of San Juan, Puerto Rico ($400 million) and M&T Bank Corp. ($381.5 million).[62]
By March 31, 2009, four banks out of over five hundred had returned their preferred stock obligations. None of the publicly traded banks had yet bought back their warrants owned by the U.S. Treasury by March 31, 2009.[83] According to the terms of the U.S. Treasury's investment, the banks returning funds can either negotiate to buy back the warrants at fair market value, or the U.S. Treasury can sell the warrants to third party investors as soon as feasible. Warrants are call options that add to the number of shares of stock outstanding if they are exercised for a profit. The AmericanBankers Association (ABA) has lobbied Congress to cancel the warrants owned by taxpayers, calling them an "onerous exit fee."[84] Yet, if the Capital Purchase Program warrants of Goldman Sachs are representative, then the Capital Purchase Program warrants were worth between $5-to-$24 billion as of May 1, 2009. Canceling the CPP warrants thus amounts to a $5-to-$24 billion subsidy to the banking industry at taxpayers' expense.[85] While the ABA wants the CPP warrants to be written off by taxpayers, Goldman Sachs does not hold that view. A representative of Goldman Sachs was quoted as saying "We think that taxpayers should expect a decent return on their investment and look forward to being able to provide just that when we are permitted to return the TARP money."

Live Webinar: Determinants of Subsidy Stability and Child Care Continuity

Child care assistance is a critical support for low-income families. Approximately 1.5 million American children receive child care subsidies through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) each month. With support to pay for child care, parents are better able to participate in the labor market and secure developmentally appropriate, high quality child care programs for their children.
Yet recent studies have found that many enrolled families receive a subsidy for only brief periods, or cycle off and then back on the subsidy program, frequently returning with a new child care provider. Instability in subsidy use may contribute to discontinuity in children’s care arrangements. Given the importance of child care continuity both for promoting children’s development and supporting parental employment, understanding the factors that contribute to instability in subsidy use and child care arrangements is critical.
Join researchers from the Urban Institute and the University of Chicago for a discussion regarding factors contributing to instability in subsidy use as identified in their mixed-methods, multi-year (2010—2014) study, the Illinois/New York Child Care ResearchPartnership. Using longitudinal state administrative data from child care payment records in combination with newly collected data from a telephone survey and qualitative interviews with subsidy clients, researchers analyzed the subsidy and child care experiences of a new cohort of subsidy clients residing in four diverse sites in Illinois and New York.

Cultural policy in the UK is devolved to the home nations -- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but a central plank to all has been the provision of free admission to National Museums. In England, free admission to charging National Museums was reintroduced on 1st December2001, following up an election pledge in the 1997Labour PartyGeneral Election manifesto. Although a policy introduced by Labour, all the major political parties currently support this policy, which celebrated its tenth anniversary last year.
Using the Natural History Museum (NHM) as a case in point, I illustrate how National Museums in England operate a mixed model of funding which balances commercial entrepreneurism with fund-raising from philanthropic sources, underpinned by a consistent, reliable level of state funding. This model has allowed the NHM to radically reinvent itself, expand its facilities and entertain three times as many visitors annually than were coming in the days of charged admission.
The current UK coalition government are committed to reducing the UK budget deficit, but recognise the value in National Museums having no economic barriers to entry, so have protected them to an extent in the allocation of cuts in government funding to 2014/15, though a real terms reduction of 15% over four years is being absorbed. The government is also committed to encouraging a greater level of income generation from philanthropic giving.
Although there are intermittent calls for a reversal of the policy to reduce reliance on state funding, the arguments for continuing the social benefits of free admission have so far won out. In addition, there are regular debates about the imposition of charging for non-UK nationals, but the National Museums themselves have resisted these calls, citing legal, operational and practical imposition issues. There is also compelling evidence for the role National Museums play in driving in-bound tourism to the UK, particularly London and the resulting value to the UK economy.
The increased audiences achieved by free admission have heralded a golden decade for National Museums in the UK. Larger attendance has driven higher revenues from secondary spend, and have facilitated higher levels of fund-raising from charitable sources. The result has led to many large capital improvements to UK Museums, including the NHM's celebrated Darwin Centre, which themselves have attracted still greater numbers of visitors in an interesting positive feedback mechanism. This has allowed the percentage of funding from government to decrease, and the real terms value to fall. As a result the free admission model in the envy of many and the aspiration of others.

Subsidies Explained in One Minute

A one-minute video which explains what a subsidy is and refers to situations in which subsidies benefit society as a whole as well as to situations in which using them isn't exactly fair.

Learn about interest subsidy on home loan or Home Loan Subsidy in this video. To give a boost to the mission of 'Housing for All by 2022' and also address the urban poor's housing requirement, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is being reworked. Of the four verticals of the scheme, 'Promotion of affordable housing for weaker section through credit linked subsidy' is the one that would appeal to the urbanites the most. There are two important changes being made to the scheme.
First, while the existing guidelines are aimed at the economically weaker section (EWS) and the lower income group (LIG) category, earning Rs 3 lakh and Rs 6 lakh per annum respectively, two new subsidy slabs (yet to be notified) will bring in people earning up to Rs 12 lakh and Rs 18 lakh per annum into the fold.
Second, as per Budget 2017, the 30 square metre (carpet area) limit will apply only in case of municipal limits of 4 metropolitan cities, while for the rest of the country, including in the peripheral areas of metros, the limit of 60 sq. m. will apply.

Why Private Investment Works & Govt. Investment Doesn't

From transportation to energy, and everything in between, should the government invest money in as many promising projects as possible? Or would that actually doom many of those ventures to failure? Burt Folsom, historian and professor at Hillsdale College, answers those questions by drawing on the fascinating history of the race to build America's railroads and airplanes.

Script:
In 2011, a solar power company called Solyndra declared bankruptcy. A company going bankrupt is not news. But Solyndra was not just any company. Its biggest “investor” was the federal government which had given it $500 million dollars. That was news.
But, really, it shouldn’t have been. If history is any guide, it was quite predictable. The government is a very poor investor. And always has been. There are countless examples, but two should serve our purpose here.
After the Civil War, American leaders were anxious to bind the country’s North, South, East, and West regions together with transcontinental railroads. Congress therefore gave massive federal aid to build the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern PacificRailroads. But all three of these roads had huge financial problems. The UnionPacific, for example, was mired in financial scandal from its inception, went bankrupt several times, and had to rebuild large sections of track thanks to shoddy construction practices.
At that same time, James J. Hill, with no federal aid whatsoever, built a railroad from St. Paul to Seattle -- the Great Northern. How was Hill able to do with private funds what the Union Pacific failed to do with a gift of tens of millions of federal dollars?
The starting point is incentives. The Union Pacific was paid by the government for each mile of road it built. It was in the railroad’s interest not to build the road straight. The more miles it took the UP to cross Nebraska, for example, the more money it made.
Hill, by contrast, used his own capital. To make a profit, he had to build his Great Northern Railroad sturdy and straight. Hill’s company remained in business for almost a hundred years until 1970 when it merged with other railroads. The original Union Pacific, riddled with corruption and numerous other financial misdeeds, including the wholesale bribery of public officials, went broke within ten years.
The story of the airplane is even more stark. By the opening of the twentieth century, the major nations of Europe and America were frantically at work trying to invent a flying machine. The first nation to do so would have a huge military and commercial advantage.
In fact, leading American politicians of the day, such as Teddy Roosevelt, President William McKinley, and others argued that building an airplane was a national emergency. There was no time, they argued, to wait for private industry to get the job done. The government needed to pick the best aeronautics expert and give him the money he needed.
That expert was Samuel Langley, the president of the prestigious Smithsonian Institution and holder of honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge. Langley was already an accomplished inventor and he had written a highly praised book Experiments in Aerodynamics. Federal officials gave Langley funds for two trial flights. He immediately set to work. His theory was that his plane needed to be thrust into the air from a houseboat on the Potomac River. The big engine on the plane would then propel it through air for several minutes.

Subsidy withdrawals and tax hikes push up prices

(23 Jan 2018) LEADIN:
The Jordanian government has announced new economic measures to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in 2018.
But there are fears that scrapping subsidies and raising taxes will push more people into poverty.
STORYLINE:
There's plenty on sale in Amman's downtown market.
But shoppers are braced for price rises.
The Jordanian government has announced new economic measures which lift subsidies and cancel sales tax exemptions on a range of goods.
Today (17 January), the tax on carbonated drinks is rising by 10 to 20 percent, Octane 95 and 98 gasoline by 30 percent and packets of cigarettes will cost an extra 0.20 Jordanian dinars (0.3 US dollars).
From 1 February, the bread subsidy will also be lifted.
Furthermore, the government is imposing charges of 500 to 1,500 dinars (700 to 2,100 US dollars) on imported cars, depending on their weight, while vehicle ownership transfer fess will be reduced by 30 dinars to 200.
According to the cabinet, the total revenue expected from these measures will amount to 540 million Jordanian dinars (760 million US dollars).
But analysts warn of serious consequences for citizens.
"They will face more pressure to decrease expenses, and to reduce trade and economic activities," says economic analyst Hossam Ayyash.
He says there could be an "increase of poverty" which will lead to problems with "civil and social peace".
The Jordanian government has set aside funds to help the poorest cope with price rises.
To qualify for the subsidy, a household's annual income must be less than 12,000 dinars (16,900 US dollars). For individuals, the limit is 6,000 dinars.
So far, 230,000 families have signed up for the assistance.
Beneficiaries of this National Aid Fund, will receive a cash subsidy of 33 dinars, while children of Jordanian women married to non-Jordanians and Gazans living in the kingdom will receive a subsidy of 27 dinars, if eligible. The government said that 6.2 million Jordanians will benefit from the cash support.
But Amman resident Hiba Dobaoud says everyone is feeling the financial squeeze from the economic measures.
"All the people are suffering, all the people are complaining, no one is happy, the effect: everyone is angry," she says.
"Before we used to say that no one dies from starvation, but unfortunately now people will die from starvation."
The sale tax on essential commodities will remain unchanged. Staples goods such as rice, sugar, flour, bulgur, cooking oil, meat, chicken, fish, fresh and powdered milk, eggs and tea will not see any hike in taxation.
Goods such as school supplies, orthopaedic devices, sensory assistance equipment, pesticides, fertilisers and veterinary medicines will not see a rise in taxation either.
The government also decided to include all senior citizens above 60-years-old in the health care insurance system and to raise the minimum wage from 190 to 200 dinars.
These measures were taken as part of a larger governmental fiscal and economic reform to secure financial stability and stimulate the country's economic growth.

Homelessness and Housing Supply and Subsidies

Leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors gathered at USC on April 27 for a summit to launch a sustained, collaborative effort to end homelessness in Los Angeles and serve as a model for other communities. From housing and supportive services to business and technology solutions, panelists outline framework for tackling one of society’s most intractable problems.

Vice President of Fund Development & Community Engagement
LA Family Housing
The endeavor builds upon long-standing work by faculty, students and staff across the university, and in particular the USC School of Social Work.
In Los Angeles County, some 44,000 individuals are homeless on any given night — up from 39,000 in 2013. Although New York City has a larger number and a higher per-capita rate, Los Angeles has one of the nation’s densest homeless populations. In just one year, the county spends $965 million on healthcare, law enforcement and social services for homeless single adults. The county also has a high rate of people experiencing chronic homelessness.
Despite higher concentrations in the urban core, the homeless population is spread out across the region, from the Antelope Valley to the South Bay to the southeastern edges of the county. And while in most U.S. communities the homeless are sheltered, in Los Angeles, some 70 percent are on the street, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). The estimated cost of building enough housing units to support the current homeless population in Los Angeles is $1.8 billion over 10 years, and that does not include necessary social services.
The causes of homelessness are numerous and often interrelated, requiring multiple perspectives and tactics, several speakers noted. Homeless populations include veterans, the mentally ill, elderly, foster youth, former prisoners, young families, victims of domestic abuse, the chronically ill, and the unemployed or underemployed.

How the U.S. Government Wastes Money: Spending, Debt, Budgets, and Investment (1997)

David Maris wrote, "one of the key problems with government funding of certain studies [is that] the investment is with taxpayer dollars and the benefit might be only to a few." About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0963789937/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0963789937&linkCode=as2&tag=tra0c7-20&linkId=dd02f2f8ea24dee7b22d2aa422a39e9a
Describing his opposition of some government funding for scientific research on studies he views as frivolous, he writes, "Scientists often rally quickly to attack anyone who thinks of reducing public funding of science -- they do this under the idea that if you don't want to fund finding answers, you must be a luddite -- you must be against science and progress. I am not. I simply think that there are so many very good ideas to study, but limited money and other higher priorities."
David Boaz of the libertarian Cato Institute opposes governmental decision-making because the obligation to pay taxes is distinct from the decision as to their expenditure on specific budget items. He writes, "We're not asked 'will you pay $100 right now for farm subsidies and $4000 for Medicaid and $1600 for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and $130 for a new presidential helicopter and ... ?' If we did get such a question, we might well decide that lots of government programs were not well worth the money to the people who would be paying the money."
Proposed solutions
Conservatives and libertarians have proposed various reforms to the process of government spending: One of these is simply to limit the amount of money that the government spends.[3] A second reform would be to increase government oversight.[3] A third proposal is to implement tax choice. This latter approach was satirized in a 1990 column by New York Times writer Russell Baker: "I have no doubt that the public, with its strongly satirical view of Federal spending, would send in so many tax returns marked Use for $600 toilet seats only that the Pentagon would soon have to distribute overpriced toilet seats free to the homeless, as the Agriculture Department once had to give away cheese to make storage space available for more excess cheese being bought with the taxpayer's famous dollar."
Examples:
Massages for rabbits
Meditation for hot flashes
Tax breaks for NFL teams
Some purported examples of government waste are merely urban legends, such as the "million dollar" Space Pen purchased by NASA for $6 each.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_waste
The earliest examples of pork barrel politics in the United States was the Bonus Bill of 1817, which was introduced by DemocratJohn C. Calhoun to construct highways linking the Eastern and Southern United States to its Western frontier using the earnings bonus from the SecondBank of the United States. Calhoun argued for it using general welfare and post roads clauses of the United States Constitution. Although he approved of the economic development goal, President James Madison vetoed the bill as unconstitutional. A more recent example: to pass the recent "Fiscal Cliff" 12/12 a tax write off went to Hollywood -- a $20 million break anytime a TV show or movie is shot in an economically depressed area of the United States.
One of the most famous alleged pork-barrel projects was the BigDig in Boston, Massachusetts. The Big Dig was a project to relocate an existing 3.5-mile (5.6 km) section of the interstate highway system underground. It ended up costing US$14.6 billion, or over US$4 billion per mile.[9] Tip O'Neill (D-Mass), after whom one of the Big Dig tunnels was named, pushed to have the Big Dig funded by the federal government while he was the Speaker of the United StatesHouse of Representatives. [10]
During the 2008U.S. presidential campaign, the Gravina Island Bridge (also known as the "Bridge to Nowhere") in Alaska was cited as an example of pork barrel spending. The bridge, pushed for by RepublicanSenator Ted Stevens, was projected to cost $398 million and would connect the island's 50 residents and the Ketchikan International Airport to Revillagigedo Island and Ketchikan.[11]
Pork-barrel projects, which differ from earmarks, are added to the federal budget by members of the appropriation committees of United States Congress. This allows delivery of federal funds to the local district or state of the appropriation committee member, often accommodating major campaign contributors. To a certain extent, a member of Congress is judged by their ability to deliver funds to their constituents. The Chairman and the ranking member of the U.S. SenateCommittee on Appropriations are in a position to deliver significant benefits to their states.

The banks agreeing to receive preferred stock investments from the Treasury include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, J.P. MorganChase & Co., Bank of America Corp. (which had just agreed to purchase Merrill Lynch), Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of New York Mellon and State Street Corp.The Bank of New York Mellon is to serve as master custodian overseeing the fund.
The U.S. Treasury maintains an official list of TARP recipients and proceeds to the taxpayer on a TARP website.
Of these banks, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, American Express Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., U.S. Bancorp, Capital One Financial Corp., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., State Street Corp., BB&T Corp, Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America repaid TARP money. Most banks repaid TARP funds using capital raised from the issuance of equity securities and debt not guaranteed by the federal government. PNC Financial Services, one of the few profitable banks without TARP money, planned on paying their share back by January 2011, by building up its cash reserves instead of issuing equity securities.[61] However, PNC reversed course on February 2, 2010, by issuing $3 billion in shares and $1.5-2 billion in senior notes in order to pay its TARP funds back. PNC also raised funds by selling its GlobalInvestment Services division to crosstown rival The Bank of New York Mellon.[54]
In a January 2012, review, it was reported that AIG still owed around $50 billion, GM about $25 billion and Ally about $12 billion. Break even on the first two companies would be at $28.73 a share versus then-current share price of $25.31 and $53.98 versus then-current share price of $24.92, respectively. Ally was not publicly traded. The 371 banks that still owed money include Regions ($3.5 billion), Zions Bancorporation ($1.4 billion), Synovus Financial Corp. ($967.9 million), Popular, Inc. ($935 million), First BanCorp of San Juan, Puerto Rico ($400 million) and M&T Bank Corp. ($381.5 million).[62]
By March 31, 2009, four banks out of over five hundred had returned their preferred stock obligations. None of the publicly traded banks had yet bought back their warrants owned by the U.S. Treasury by March 31, 2009.[83] According to the terms of the U.S. Treasury's investment, the banks returning funds can either negotiate to buy back the warrants at fair market value, or the U.S. Treasury can sell the warrants to third party investors as soon as feasible. Warrants are call options that add to the number of shares of stock outstanding if they are exercised for a profit. The AmericanBankers Association (ABA) has lobbied Congress to cancel the warrants owned by taxpayers, calling them an "onerous exit fee."[84] Yet, if the Capital Purchase Program warrants of Goldman Sachs are representative, then the Capital Purchase Program warrants were worth between $5-to-$24 billion as of May 1, 2009. Canceling the CPP warrants thus amounts to a $5-to-$24 billion subsidy to the banking industry at taxpayers' expense.[85] While the ABA wants the CPP warrants to be written off by taxpayers, Goldman Sachs does not hold that view. A representative of Goldman Sachs was quoted as saying "We think that taxpayers should expect a decent return on their investment and look forward to being able to provide just that when we are permitted to return the TARP money."

Live Webinar: Determinants of Subsidy Stability and Child Care Continuity

Child care assistance is a critical support for low-income families. Approximately 1.5 million American children receive child care subsidies through the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) each month. With support to pay for child care, parents are better able to participate in the labor market and secure developmentally appropriate, high quality child care programs for their children.
Yet recent studies have found that many enrolled families receive a subsidy for only brief periods, or cycle off and then back on the subsidy program, frequently returning with a new child care provider. Instability in subsidy use may contribute to discontinuity in children’s care arrangements. Given the importance of child care continuity both for promoting children’s development and supporting parental employment, understanding the factors that contribute to instability in subsidy use and child care arrangements is critical.
Join researchers from the Urban Institute and the University of Chicago for a discussion regarding factors contributing to instability in subsidy use as identified in their mixed-methods, multi-year (2010—2014) study, the Illinois/New York Child Care ResearchPartnership. Using longitudinal state administrative data from child care payment records in combination with newly collected data from a telephone survey and qualitative interviews with subsidy clients, researchers analyzed the subsidy and child care experiences of a new cohort of subsidy clients residing in four diverse sites in Illinois and New York.

Cultural policy in the UK is devolved to the home nations -- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but a central plank to all has been the provision of free admission to National Museums. In England, free admission to charging National Museums was reintroduced on 1st December2001, following up an election pledge in the 1997Labour PartyGeneral Election manifesto. Although a policy introduced by Labour, all the major political parties currently support this policy, which celebrated its tenth anniversary last year.
Using the Natural History Museum (NHM) as a case in point, I illustrate how National Museums in England operate a mixed model of funding which balances commercial entrepreneurism with fund-raising from philanthropic sources, underpinned by a consistent, reliable level of state funding. This model has allowed the NHM to radically reinvent itself, expand its facilities and entertain three times as many visitors annually than were coming in the days of charged admission.
The current UK coalition government are committed to reducing the UK budget deficit, but recognise the value in National Museums having no economic barriers to entry, so have protected them to an extent in the allocation of cuts in government funding to 2014/15, though a real terms reduction of 15% over four years is being absorbed. The government is also committed to encouraging a greater level of income generation from philanthropic giving.
Although there are intermittent calls for a reversal of the policy to reduce reliance on state funding, the arguments for continuing the social benefits of free admission have so far won out. In addition, there are regular debates about the imposition of charging for non-UK nationals, but the National Museums themselves have resisted these calls, citing legal, operational and practical imposition issues. There is also compelling evidence for the role National Museums play in driving in-bound tourism to the UK, particularly London and the resulting value to the UK economy.
The increased audiences achieved by free admission have heralded a golden decade for National Museums in the UK. Larger attendance has driven higher revenues from secondary spend, and have facilitated higher levels of fund-raising from charitable sources. The result has led to many large capital improvements to UK Museums, including the NHM's celebrated Darwin Centre, which themselves have attracted still greater numbers of visitors in an interesting positive feedback mechanism. This has allowed the percentage of funding from government to decrease, and the real terms value to fall. As a result the free admission model in the envy of many and the aspiration of others.
